Kind Of Bummed...



Recommended Posts

I got the results from my blood work and everything was fine, except my cholesterol is borderline high at 207. I rarely eat red meat, never eat eggs, have shellfish every once in a great while, and fast food isn't even in my vocabulary. I work out 6 days a week anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours a session. What gives?

And everything else was normal?

Usually when one thing is out of whack, it throws other thing out also. At least that's been my experience. Could be a false-positive.

What did your Dr think? Did he put you on meds? or did he think to give it some time.

He said everything else was normal and he was confident it could be controlled through diet and exercise. He doesn't think it's time for meds yet. I was just very shocked that it was higher than last year when I've been eating better and exercising like a fiend for months. I have a sneaking suspicion that it may be partly genetic since my father is on cholesterol meds and he's not obese (maybe a little overweight but nothing terrible).

Does high cholesterol run in your family? It has a strong genetic component.

Welcome to my world!!!

I have genetically high cholesterol. Never eat red meat, whole eggs, pork and still have high numbers. Last bp test was like 107/65. I do at least 1 hr cardio 7 days a week.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
